Pilibhit Police File FIR Over Kidnapping and Forced Conversion
Pilibhit police register FIR against three men for kidnapping and forced religious conversion of a woman.
The Pilibhit Police have officially registered a First Information Report (FIR) against three individuals following harrowing allegations of kidnapping, physical assault, and forced religious conversion. The case, filed under the provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Act, comes after a formal complaint was lodged by the father of a young woman.
A Pattern of Deception and Coercion
The investigation has revealed a chilling sequence of events involving the victim, who had been working as a worker in Greater Noida. The primary accused, identified as Misaryar Khan, was also employed in the same area as a zardozi craftsman and was known to the victim.
According to the complaint, the accused allegedly used brainwashing techniques to coerce the woman into converting to Islam. Once the conversion was forced, she was reportedly held captive in a room under strict supervision. The victim's testimony paints a grim picture of her ordeal, alleging that she was:
- Forced to wear a burqa against her will.
- Physically exploited during her captivity.
- Strictly prohibited from communicating with or meeting anyone else.
The victim managed to escape her captors and returned to her family home on September 20, revealing the extent of the abuse she had endured.
The Second Disappearance
The nightmare for the family did not end with her escape. On September 30, while the victim's parents were away from the house, she vanished once again. Local villagers reported seeing four men on two motorcycles transporting the woman away from the area.
The family has alleged that Misaryar Khan and his associates forcibly abducted the woman directly from her doorstep. Furthermore, the victim has raised serious concerns regarding a larger pattern, claiming that the accused and his brother actively lure Hindu women into their network for similar purposes.
Police Launch Manhunt
Following the registration of the FIR against Misaryar Khan, Shaharyar Khan, and one unidentified individual, law enforcement has launched an intensive search operation. Misaryar Khan has reportedly fled his village residence to evade arrest.
"Police teams are currently searching for the accused and working to locate the victim," authorities stated. The investigation remains ongoing, with officials confirming that further legal action will be taken as more evidence is gathered during the probe.
